Handcrafting a vibrant Arab world

Crafty Arab Community

Today was my last day teaching Arabic art at the Startalk Arabic Camp at Aki
Kurose Middle School Academy in Seattle.
Seattle Public Schools Startalk 5 offered Beginning Arabic summer language
camps for elementary school students, grades 3-5 June 28-July 8 with July 4
off. The Arabic camp was designed for beginning speakers of the language and
students were introduced to modern standard Arabic and progress through
thematic units designed for young, beginning Arabic learners.

Since I concentrated on the Arabic arts, I decided to do an emphasis on
Ramadan, since it’s due to start next Friday. Here are the crafts we did at the
camp. I’ll be offering tutorials for these projects as part of the 2012 – 30
day Ramadan Crafty Challenge, so be sure to follow this blog to see them!
